Could this come into play Sunday? I think so. The Broncos could very well be up by 10 in the 3rd quarter. If that happens, will Fox institute Fox ball and shut down the explosive offense for a more run the clock mode? Can we capitalize on that?

Smartest thing Elway did was put two offensive coordinators against Foxy.

Manning won't let him try and slow down the game.

In a magical world, this game would be where Rivera paints his masterpiece, works with McD'erm this week and re-creates that crazy ass D that the Falcons used to such great effect on MNF a month or so back.

In the past that's been true. But, he didn't pull it with the Saints last week. Peyton has a lot of control on Offense.

Fox's weakness is adjusting, and Rivera seems to have that issue too. If the defense continues to show up, and we get more pressure from the best front four in football, we can win this game. Also keeping peyton off the field will help.

i was going to say game time adjustments. tapping the brakes was the only adjustment that he ever made.

peyton is by far the smartest coach on that team. the only way to beat him is to put his stiff-necked head on a swivel. you've got to play fast and tight. i think at best all we can do with him is slow him down.

on offense, tho, chud just needs to change up things a couple times. let fox think he knows what to expect and then change things on him. he'll pretend and act as if it isn't happening. no adjustments. he does what he does well, but he'll only do it one way.
